A Slick Top Stripper in Mystic Blue

The 3.91 diff has a small leak, either the bottom drain plug or at the diff plate, can't tell which. Going to reseal with loctite 5970 and put some gasoila on the drain plug. I'm hoping I can do both of these without the need to put in new oil. The current oil only has seven or eight thousand miles on it.

Diff cover resealed and I put in a magnetic drain plug that has an o-ring this time. Coating of gasoila to go along with it.

With the Tiag's rear end dropped its time to do the same to the Mystic. All that is left is to remove the subframe bolts and lower. I'll do that tomorrow. I can see the diff has a leak, have to investigate and see where its coming from before I move this diff to the other car.

Second rear end dropped. The Pinion shaft seal is leaking on the diff, will replace before installing in the convertible.

Decided to give Lloyd's Mats a go. This is their Velourtex option and even this basic mat is better than the current BMW options.

Those look great and I was going to configure them for the M3 and passat and keep a set in storage for the future. The site doesnt seem to be working or the configurator at least.....i'll try again later.

3.91 differential with oil weighs 98.2 pounds. Curiosity satisfied.

I've been traveling (for fun) every weekend for the last month or so, but that is over, so back to work. jvit27 had some 76mm euro tips for sale and I scooped them up. Muffler clean up and test fit. Nobody seems to sell the appropriate size rivet in stainless steel and I don't want use aluminum cause galvanic corrosion, so I had to order them, sheesh ,wouldn't have guessed that.

Second tip from the right is the original tip, the rest are the new 76mm tips.

They look so good! Definitely a little sellers remorse now..

Rear end and exhaust back in. On reinstall I saw the passenger side muffler hanger rubber break lol. Ordered this from bimmerworld because I'm not paying 70 to 80 dollars for a muffler hanger. If it is unacceptable then I'll send back and pay the restocking fee or whatever. I put a few thousand miles per year on each car, should be fine for a long time.
